the idea of him coming back from golfing or the spa or whatever and composing a tweet about "big meetings!" or "very important meetings!" really betrays a venal, casual and i guess juvenile mixture of disregard and contempt for his role which would be amusing if it wasn't so worrying.

See, I disagree; I read it as desperate insecurity and a massive inferiority complex. He knows he's a piece of shit, he knows he's not up to the job, but he's certainly not going to let everyone else know he knows it, so he bluffs. "I'm doing very important work!" Meanwhile, he's running off to the golf course for a few hours' relief from the reality of his own incompetence.

one of these days we're gonna nail trump psychoanalysis, I can feel it
― Simon H., Wednesday, 22 November 2017 16:07 (six years ago) link
the golf thing, and the compulsion to visit his own resorts, is pretty fuckin weird. it reminds me of how hugh hefner would only ever stay in his own mansion or at "playboy clubs" that he had built in various cities. what does he derive from this? is there a weird compulsion we don't know about? does he not "trust" the white house in some way?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 22 November 2017 16:08 (six years ago) link
my questions, Simon, to clarify, are less about psychoanalysis and more about purely salacious gossip-mongering. there should be vicious, tawdry rumours about what he does at these clubs

"He knows he's a piece of shit, he knows he's not up to the job,"
He doesn't think this imo.

Like, of all the periods when the span of my life could've transpired, why did it have to overlap with a period where the federal government is morphing into a late-period Zucker-Abrams-Zucker production? I could've been comfortably interred in the ground for the past fifty years instead of bearing witness to this.

At some point, every warrior eventually runs out of arrows. His armor wears thin yet grows heavier still. He must lay down his weary helmeted head for rest.Even Coriolanus was forced to retreat — at the behest of his mother.Not so Donald Trump.Not a weary drop of blood pumps through the man’s veins. He wears his thick armor light as skin. His bottomless quiver is never empty.

The fact that these things overlap is not at all coincidental.

All of these "why are these allegations happening NOW" questions are dumb. Like, no shit someone may feel more urgency to come forward when the person who abused them looks poised to ride easily into the Senate AND the current cultural climate is the least hostile towards victims alleging sexual assault and rape than it has been in most of their lifetimes?
